Analysis
In 2023, pre- and post-production — emissions in Norway stood at 13.76 kt.
That represents a change of up 0.7% on the previous year and down 71.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — emissions in Norway peaked at 48.23 kt in 2004 and was at its lowest, 11.06 kt, in 1990.
That places Norway 149th out of 248 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
